Rising Intimate Partner Violence in Acholi Sub-Region: WORUDET & Partners Speak Out

On 7th March 2025, WORUDET and allied rights organizations in Kitgum and Lamwo districts issued a powerful press statement ahead of International Women’s Day, drawing urgent attention to the escalating crisis of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the Acholi sub-region. IPV—defined as physical, sexual, or psychological harm within intimate relationships—was underscored as a pervasive threat cutting across age, income, ethnicity, and religion. The organizations highlighted alarming statistics from the 2024 Uganda Police Annual Crime Report, which recorded 14,126 victims of domestic violence, with women disproportionately affected at 72.7 percent. The Uganda National Bureau of Statistics further revealed that IPV prevalence nationally stands at 45 percent, but surges to 78 percent […]

Leadership in Action: Akullo Betty on Building Skills for Transformative Change

Leadership in Action: Akullo Betty on Building Skills for Transformative Change

Akullo Betty, founder of Worudet, has long been recognized for her commitment to addressing inequalities in Ugandan communities—from education and domestic violence to reproductive health and women’s land rights. In her recent reflections on the Leadership Development Program (LDP), she offered a candid and intellectual exploration of what leadership means in practice, and why continuous learning is essential for driving social transformation. “As a leader, I am looked at as somebody who can provide solutions, who can help my team in coming up with insights, ideas. In doing this, I need to have the skills.” Her words echo a broader truth: leadership is not innate, but cultivated. Scholars such as […]

Stitching Dignity: How Sanitary Wear Is Keeping Rural Girls in School

Stitching Dignity: How Sanitary Wear Is Keeping Rural Girls in School

In the quiet corners of Kitgum District, a quiet revolution is unfolding, one stitch at a time. At the heart of it is a simple but powerful truth: when girls have access to sanitary wear, they stay in school, dream bigger, and shape their futures. Across Africa, one in five school-age girls misses class or drops out entirely due to the inability to manage menstruation safely and with dignity. The statistics are sobering, but the story behind them is even more urgent. Menstruation, a natural biological process, becomes a barrier to education when girls lack access to menstrual products, clean facilities, and supportive environments. “Menstruation should never be a reason […]

Endorsement of the Ministry of Health’s proposal on Access to Contraceptives for 15-Year-Olds in Uganda.

Network for Community Development (NCD) and Women and Rural Development Networks (WORUDET), two community-based organizations with decades of experience working on the adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights of diverse adolescents in Uganda; and working directly with adolescents themselves, including those who are amongst the most marginalized in Uganda, express our wholehearted support for the proposal to offer contraception to girls from 15 years old, in Uganda. This is a forward-thinking step towards addressing the urgent and complex challenges that adolescents face in the realm of reproductive health. It constitutes a crucial step towards empowering young girls and promoting their overall well-being. In this statement, we articulate our strong […]

Supporting out-of-school Adolescent Girls’ Rights & Skills

Supporting out-of-school Adolescent Girls’ Rights & Skills

Out-of-school adolescent girls are often invisible to mainstream SRHR programming. They are the least reached, yet the most in need. The SHE SOARS project—Sexual and reproductive Health and Economic empowerment Supporting Out-of-school Adolescent girls’ Rights and Skills—is designed to change that. Led by CARE Canada and implemented by WORUDET and six other organizations, this six-year initiative (2021–2027) spans Uganda, Kenya, and Zambia, with a total investment of $45 million from Global Affairs Canada. WORUDET’s role is focused on Pillar 1300, which strengthens the capacity of women’s and girls’ rights organizations to advocate for evidence-based, accountable, and equitable SRHR policies and services. This work is being implemented in Arua and Madi-Okolo […]

16 days of Gender Activism Campaign

Every November (November 16th – December 16th), WORUDET joins the rest of the world in commemorating the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. We are convinced that this season is a pivotal time to remind leaders of their commitments towards the protection of women and girls from all forms of violence and thus create more awareness in the mitigation of violence against women and girls. For a country like Uganda, where GBV occurs on an annual basis, we believe that adding our voice is critical.
